Description

This course is an inter-disciplinary program which explores the significance of the European Union (EU) in the world. It investigates its political, legal, economic, social, humanitarian, environmental, and security implications for the international system.

The course draws on a variety of disciplines: management, law, politics, sociology, and history. A diverse range of learning experiences is derived from traditional and innovative teaching methods drawing on face-to-face contact, lectures, seminars and video conferences, as well as audiovisual, multimedia and multisource material, and study abroad.

A wide choice of core units is available covering topics such as:

an introduction to the history and the policy-making processes of the EU
the investigation of the role of the EU in the world in the economic, monetary, political, social, environmental, development aid, human rights and security fields
an analysis of regional and inter-regional arrangements and processes in Europe, Asia and the Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Africa
an introduction to the basic principles of EU law, of benefit to both established legal practitioners and those without a legal background wishing to become familiar with the legal framework of the EU
an introduction to the place of the EU in the international business environment
a practical exploration of interest representation and lobbying in the EU and in Europe.

The extensive range of elective units reflects the interdisciplinary and flexible approach of the program and allows students to develop their understanding of several aspects of the EU. Students may choose a concentration of electives in a given field. They may also elect to write a research paper. As part of their electives, students are offered the opportunity of completing an internship in Brussels, an intensive study program at the Monash Prato Centre in Italy (with the collaboration of the European University Institute, Florence) or a semester abroad at participating European universities, institutes and centers, including Science Po (Paris) and the Institut d'Etudes europennes (Universit Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels).

Notes

Minimum candidature is one year full-time or two years part-time.

Description

Candidates submit a component of creative writing - a novel or a novella or a group of short stories or a play or a group of plays or a sequence of poems or a portfolio of creative works of various genres. The creative writing component submitted for examination as part of the thesis must be undertaken during the enrolment in the MA, under supervision. An accompanying critical commentary of the creative writing component will constitute a scholarly, self-reflexive critique, based on research into the theory and practice of the creative process focused on the student's creative writing component, the writing of which will itself be considered as an act of research into the nature of literary creativity. The critical commentary will involve thoroughly researching the various aspects of the creative writing project: the creative process, the characteristics of the attempted genre, the mechanics of handling language and narrative, the influence of other relevant writers, context, and the shaping elements in a work of art.

Research component

100 per cent

Requirements

At the completion of the course, candidates will be required to submit for examination a component of their own creative writing of 20,000 to 25,000 words, together with a critical commentary of 10,000 to 15,000 words, the combined word total normally not to exceed 40,000 words or be less than 30,000 words. Approval may be given to a candidate to write a creative work component of more than 25,000 words when that greater length is appropriate to the genre. However, in this event, the critical commentary must still remain at the prescribed length of 10,000 to 15,000 words. Approval should be sought at the time of the review of candidature.

Description

Studies in environmental science are concerned with the relationships between humans and their biogeological contexts with the aim of integrating the two with the insights offered by both the humanities and the sciences. Environmental science recognises the interdependence of humans and the rest of nature and research emphasises the processes and impacts of human environment interactions, policy development and implications, and the implementation of management strategies favourable to the environment.

The course has been designed to both broaden and deepen students' existing knowledge, providing intensive interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary research training in either the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Science. In addition to research in an area of specific interest, through core coursework the course offers insight into the ideological, philosophical and disciplinary approaches to environment and sustainability. The selection of elective units offers a complement to candidates' prior studies.

Description

The Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies is aimed at students with advanced bilingual proficiency and seeks to develop their skills in translation and interpreting from/to English and another language, and their awareness of practical and theoretical approaches to translation/interpreting practice and studies. Students gain a foundation in theories of translation and interpreting and receive training in research in the field. Upon completion of this course, students are able to conceptualise translation/interpreting studies as an academic discipline in its historical, cross-disciplinary and intercultural context.

The course covers topics related to the theory and practice of both translation and interpreting. The higher level theoretical units focus on more recent research issues in the emerging field of interpreting studies and in familiarising students with current research models and methodologies in translation studies. The core units provide intensive language-specific practice in written and oral transfer skills to the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) professional level. In addition to the relevant theoretical frameworks, the core units also provide students with the discourse analysis, ethical and professional frameworks that are essential for professional interpreting and translation practice.

The main languages available are Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. Other languages may be available dependent on student numbers. Contact the school for details.

Objectives

Students successfully completing this course will have:

a sound knowledge of diverse aspects of the academic discipline

Description

Oral history illuminates the lived experience of hidden histories and produces riveting historical documentary in books, radio and television, museum exhibitions and multi-media production. It is also a powerful tool for exploring historical memory - 'how people make sense of their past, how they connect individual experience and its social context, how the past becomes part of the present, and how people use it to interpret their lives and the world around them'. Historical memory has become central to the contemporary cultural politics of witnessing, commemoration and reconciliation. This innovative course, taught by international leaders in the field, integrates the study of oral history and historical memory. It develops high-level skills and understandings in the theory and practice of oral history, and in inter-disciplinary approaches to the creation and use of historical memory by individuals, communities and nations. Students will consider national and international case studies and literature in the field of oral history and historical memory, and can take electives in the related fields of public history and life writing, and will develop practical and vocational skills through work placements and interview projects. Graduates will be fully prepared to undertake research degrees involving oral history and historical memory, and may go on to work in the wide range of fields that make significance use of oral history and historical memory, including museums, television, radio and multi-media production, heritage and corporate history, community and family history.

Objectives

Students successfully completing this course will have:

a comprehensive critical understanding of debates about the nature of autobiographical memory and its use as a research source, and about the nature and significance of historical memory as represented through a range of sites and forms

Description

The PhD in musical composition is designed for composers to develop a research-based composition folio that makes an independent and original contribution to knowledge. The program consists of 100 per cent research in the form of musical composition. In consultation with the supervisor, a candidate will plan and develop a substantial, research-based folio of original compositions.

Objectives

On the completion of the PhD candidature students should have:

developed a composition folio that gives evidence in support of a research-based argument and makes an independent and original contribution to knowledge
gained an understanding of composition as a complex process that includes the conception and research of an aesthetic argument, the development and structure of sound materials, and the realisation of the work in performance and sound recordings
acquired a good knowledge of music technology, and an understanding of music technology as a compositional tool
developed the capacity for a critical and informed assessment of their own compositional approaches and musical aesthetics in the broader context of contemporary music
acquired the ability to research and convey creative processes involved in the production of sound and music.

Structure

The period of PhD candidature is normally three years of full-time study, with a minimum of two years and a maximum of four years full-time equivalent.

Full-time candidates are expected to allocate 48 hours per week to compositional activities and meet with their supervisor(s) on a regular basis.

Candidates are required to present at least 50 per cent of the music submitted in their folio in public concerts. The School of Music - Conservatorium assists candidates in organising performances and recordings through its performance venues and music studios.

Full-time candidates are required to attend a minimum of 12 of the school's postgraduate seminars during each year of their candidature. Part-time candidates are required to attend a minimum of six seminars per year. Candidates are required to present at least one postgraduate seminar during the course of their candidature.

Requirements

A candidate will be required to submit a composition folio consisting of both musical scores and sound recordings. The overall duration of the submitted music would normally be between 50 and 80 minutes. Depending on the complexity of the submitted music, however, the overall duration may deviate considerably from the given range. Candidates present at least 50 per cent of the music submitted in their folio in public concerts. The supervisor guides the candidates in the performance and recording of their musical works. Together with the folio of musical compositions candidates submit a critical commentary of between 20,000 and 25,000 words that demonstrates their capacity to articulate the conceptual and aesthetic basis for their folio of compositions, to assess their compositional work in the context of contemporary music and sonic art, and to research and convey creative processes involved in the production of sound and music. The commentary must be scholarly in character, and, at minimum address the following:

explication of a research-based argument that provides the conceptual basis for the folio and its contribution to knowledge
compositional approach, process, and techniques
aesthetic placement and stylistic predecessors
performance context.

Progression to further studies

The PhD regulations make provision for composition masters degree candidates to transfer their candidature after a minimum period of nine months full-time (or part-time equivalent), but before 36 months, of satisfactory performance.
